So turned her about, and fled away apace.

Which when the Peasant saw, amazd he stood, xliii

And grieued[549] at her flight; yet durst he not

Pursew her steps, through wild vnknowen wood;

Besides he feard her wrath, and threatned shot

Whiles in the bush he lay, not yet forgot:

Ne car’d he greatly for her presence vaine,

But turning said to Trompart, What foule blot

Is this to knight, that Ladie should againe

Depart to woods vntoucht, and leaue so proud disdaine?
